Warm Thoughts of Summer

Remembering back to warm summer days.
Our summer Wren renters now long gone as we head into our winter season.
The Wrens provided none stop chatter and nice to hear. As the youngster grew the adults were required to feed those hungry mouths.
Their back and forth made me tired just watching them as they brought in food that seemed to be none stop.

Nest Clean Up

Not only do the adult Wrens work endlessly feeding the young…they are also required to do clean up as the young do tend to poop allot.

This is done by who knows how but everything is put into a fecal sac (doo doo bags) and removed from the nest.
I’m only going to assume that this would be done by any cavity nester.

Besides I would have charged them extra for clean up if they hadn’t done so themselves.

Meal has Arrived

The kids are hungry and a meal arrives…Mamma and Papa Wren seem to be doing nonstop feeding as the youngsters grow. It’s unclear as to just how many hungry little mouths they had to feed.

Nothing more than memories now as the young have flew the coop…although the adults and kids can still be heard in and around the bush.
